Be Present

By -
One of the hardest things to do is to be fully present.  Distractions have never been greater.  Attention spans never shorter.  Our minds can’t stay focused on a single task for long. And so it’s difficult to be present in important moments in life.  It’s something to be aware of and keep practicing. Being fully present allows us to glean everything we can from the moment. Being semi-present makes it difficult to get much from the moment. Having one foot in the present and one in some other fleeting thought or notification is an unsteady foundation. Firmly be in the present, life will feel so much different.

Slow Down

By -
Keeping pace with everything is a guaranteed burnout.  Purposely slow down. Even daily. Find a time and space to disconnect, decompress and slow down.  The world moves too fast for us. We get far too much information in one day and feel the need to do far too much.  It’s okay to slow down. It’s the secret to productive longevity.

Get Out

By -
If you want to experience more you have to get out.  Get out of your ruts. Get out of your limits. Take a detour from your mundane routines. Routines are good. But it’s also good to enhance them with some changes or experiences like a trip or different way or doing your routine.  Get out there, there’s lots to learn and explore.

Hang On

By -
Hang on, it will pass.  Not every season in life is easy and desirable.  But hang on it will pass.  Today had a few storms blow through. It got dark, rainy and there was thunder, lightening and potential of tornados. But it passed. The evening was sunny and clear.  A good metaphor for life. It gets rough at times, but look ahead cause there will be sunshine again.

More No’s

By -
What you say no to makes a huge difference in your yeses.  Saying no refines what is necessary and filters out the unnecessary. Saying no preserves your resources for your yes.  Don’t waste your yeses on frivolous activities that don’t support your big goals. Refine. Say no. Put that energy into the yeses that matter so much the more.

A true friend will tell you where you can get better. They may do it kindly and subtly but a true friend will help you get better.
